Written by soul legend Stevie Wonder and the Supremes' Susaye Greene in the key of A-flat major, “I Can’t Help It” features one of Jackson’s best vocal performances: the perfect mix of passionate and laid-back. Like “Rock With You”, this song feels very cool and relaxed.

This song appears on Michael Jackson’s first adult solo album, Off the Wall. Although it was not released as a single, it was the b-side of “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”.
